TL;DR: This work sequences 212 SARS-CoV-2 sequences and uses them to perform a comprehensive analysis to trace the origins and spread of the virus and finds that travelers returning from the United States of America significantly contributed to viral spread in Israel.

TL;DR: The findings underscore the ability of this virus to efficiently transmit between and within countries, as well as demonstrate the effectiveness of social distancing measures for reducing its spread.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors search for drivers of VOC-like emergence by consolidating sequencing results from a set of 27 chronic infections and find evidence for dynamic polymorphic viral populations in most patients, suggesting that compromised immune system selects for antibody evasion in particular niches in a patient's body.

TL;DR: This work observed the parallel emergence of two independent cheater mutants of MS2 phage, and inferred that while a single cheater is expected to reach an equilibrium with the wild type, cheater demise arises from antagonistic interactions between coinfecting cheaters.

TL;DR: This work thoroughly explores the performance of FITS on simulated data and highlights its ability to infer the fitness/mutation rate/population size and shows that FITS can infer meaningful information even when the input parameters are inexact.
